On the day we started driving home, we saw this awesome orange dragster just driving down the road, parachute and all. Completely coincidentally, and 400 miles later, I saw a sign for the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing, in Ocala. Pictured below, my kids learn the truth about who "The King" is (not just a character from Disney/Pixar's Cars), and some oddities including a supercharged lawnmower and a dragster powered by a V-12 Allison engine from a World War II P-40 fighter plane (1700 cubic inches, produces 2000 HP on straight gasoline).
